The teeth, taken from an Indian stall unearthed ir Westmoreland Westmore-land county, show pearl-like formations either between the prongs of the tootb or on the root proper. The natural formations resembling resem-bling pearls range from tiny spherical projections to one of good size. Scientists are baffled as to when and how the pearls got Into the teeth. There are some who believe the formations resulted from eating excessive sea foods, but actual proof of this theory has not been brought to light The pearl teeth have been placed on display In the Indian room of the Pennsylvania state museum. LAVISH WITH VELVET Br CHEItlE NICHOLAS New "Flying Wing" Monoplane Will Be the Fastest Ever Built Four Miles a Minute Predicted Pre-dicted for Device. New York. A new type of "flying wing" monoplane, which Is expected expect-ed to attain a high speed of four miles minute with two engines of small power, Is under construction behind barred doors of a western plant. It was revealed here. Wind tunnel tests conducted by Prof. Alexander Klemln of the Guggenheim Guggen-heim school of aeronautics at New York university, reveal the high performance per-formance possibilities of the new craft , The new plane represents no radical rad-ical departure. The four-mlle-a-minute performance on two engines of 125 horse power each Is obtained by almost perfect streamlining, plus the setting of the engines to get the best results. I: Is a cabin type with a capacity of four passengers, and If the performance per-formance of the first plane comes up to the wind tunnel measurements on the model It will be the fastest low-power plane ever constructed. Retractlble Landing Gear. The craft employs a retractlble landing gear and has a short bulletlike bullet-like fuselage which Is streamlined Into the wing so that only a little .' l ,- I?

Rat's Cancer Cured by Cobra's Venom Paris. Dr. Albert Calmette, uiuler-dlrector of the Pasteur Institute In-stitute and member of the Acadfr my of Medicine, announced that the Institute had stopped the growth of cancer In a white rat by using the cobra venom treatment treat-ment discovered by Dr Adolph Monae-Lesser of New York. The rat cancer Is a much simpler form than cancer In humans, hu-mans, be said. "We proved successful In treat ment of the cancer In a white rat" said Doctor Calmette, "after twelve Injections of venom, each of which represented one-tenth of a mortal dose." m re than half of it Is visible above the high wing lift from a head-on position. The two engines also are streamlined Into the leading edge of the wing Id projectile-like nacelles. which have very little frontal area. The landing gear retracts Into the engine nacelles. Professor Klemln was agreeably surprised by the performance data collected for the designer, Thomas M. Shelton of Denver, Colo. The tests show that the craft with a full load will have an Initial climb of 1,760 feet a minute, and with the flaps In use will have a landing speed of 55 miles and hour, which Is low, considering the high speed of the plane. On one engine the craft will have a speed of 150 miles an hour and will be able to climb at the rate of 675 feet a minute. The method of performance calculations cal-culations used by Professor Klemln to arrive at the figures for the new plane, which Shelton will call the "gyroplane," Is considered reliable by the aviation Industry, and the results In the past in flight figures have consistently shown agreement with the tunnel calculations. 22 Per Cent Faster. Shelton, In comparing the performance per-formance figures with those of other planes In the same class, said that the gyroplane would be 22 per cent faster than any marketed thus far. An outstanding safety factor In the design is the plane's capacity not on'y to fly but to climb on one engine. en-gine. Shelton said the project was financed completely and that the construction of the first plane would be pushed so that It may be tested In actual flight by the first of the year. "After we Iron out the 'bugs' In the four place craft we Intend to build a 20-passenger ship with two engines 700 horse power," he said. Although all the regular planes are to be built of metal, Shelton said the construction of the first would be of wood and fabric. The power units on the first model probably will be Inverted In-line, air-cooled engines. British Royal Family Has Big Staff Household Aids Have Many and Varied Duties. royal London.

In the later years of his life Lord Stamfordham began to feel that his age prevented him from rendering sufficient service to his majesty and asked again and again to resign. The king would not hear to it, and, recording to a story related by the Hon. Mrs. Francis Lasceiies, the king placed both hands affectionately affectionate-ly on his shoulders and said.

Trend to Spectacular in Man's Mental Focus It seems that the human mind, indi vidual or collective. Is not able to focus fo-cus upon more than one thing at a time. The queer thing Is that this human mind prefers to focus upon the spectacular rather than upon the lasting. Back In 1SG6 a lonely Moravian monk discovered the laws of heredity which -now stand as the bedrock of the life sciences. No one In 1801(5 cared to take a look at this discovery. for every one was arguing about some incidental gossip which grew out of Darwin's "Origin of Species," pub lished In 1859. By 1000 they were tired of the Incidental and rather spectacular gossiping about Darwin. This gave the scientists a chance to resurrect the monk. And so the world of fundamental Information took on new life. Here we are today wrangling about economic questions. Snecifloallv about dollars and taxes. Such things are Incidental and more or less soec tacular. We will, of course, keep on with such subjects until some one finds a way to focus our attention on unemployment. The man who succeeds suc-ceeds In focusing the public aftentiou on this point will be calling us bark to something fundamental. There are those who seem to think that discovery dis-covery is soon to be made. Washington Wash-ington Star.
